A bulldozer, modified to carry sections of 4-foot-diameter pipe, crawls up a narrow road to the top of Keystone Canyon, about 18 miles east of Valdez. The three-mile canyon is one of the more challenging engineering and construction areas along the 800-mile-long trans Alaska pipeline route., 1974 - 1977
